My Grafts Came out During Scabbing 10 Days After Hair Transplant?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Grafts can come out with the scabs.  It is a possibility. If you are concerned about this, it is a good idea to follow up with your doctor for a recheck and exam.

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. This is not usually a good thing.  The scabs are best left in place as they are holding the hair down like a glue.  Hopefully not too many of them came out.  I hope this helps.

Losing Grafts after the first week from your hair transplant is very uncommon.  In fact studies show that hair follicles get sealed in place after day 4 from a hair transplant.  What you have been seeing might have been losing hair shaft that could be attached to some scabs and may resemble a graft. To be on the safe side discuss this with your hair transplant surgeon.

Rashid M. Rashid, PhD, MD · Answer

The grafts can fall out as soon as day 10 and the fallout can continue up to several months. It is important to assess how much has fallen out and what type of hair transplant you had i.e FUE or FUT. Many factors play a role in the fall out and it can be normal.

It’s rare to have grafts coming out after ten days. You should schedule a follow up with your doctor to see if it’s the hair,scab or actual follicle that came out.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

and the grafts come out, you will lose these grafts. I wrote an article on this showing that grafts pulled out in the first couple of weeks after a hair transplant with the crusts on the scalp, were lost permenently.
